Swept from low vegetation in a mixed forest. Size 4 to 4.5 mm. R without bristles, Mesonotum and abdomen black, tibiae II with 1 strong bristle, 1st segment of tarsi II without strong bristles, so a male of Agathomyia viduella? Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [167.3Kb] |

Very similar but smaller (3 mm) and with black halteres - a female? Only dead specimen, sorry...

Based on results of subsequent collecting, I think I missed bristles on R1 somehow so the one with yellow halteres is most probably a male of Callomyia amoena, and the male with black halteres was a different species of Callomyia (speciosa?). |

A correction/reversion: Anatoly Shatalkin confirmed that both depicted flies are Agathomyia. |

I'm sorry. I told to Black in telephon conversation that Shatalkin told that it is another genus. But Shatalkin meaned that it is not Agathomyia, but Callomyia! So, post from 14-06-2007 19:44 - is with correct ID! Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

OK so no reversion, it's Callomyia. |
